Politics, Society and Christianity in Vichy France

The bibliography on the Vichy period is prolific, so much so that it
would be otiose to list all the volumes to which reference could be made
in writing a history of politics and society in relation to Christianity in
France from 1938-45. For the archives that were consulted the reader is
referred to the Preface.

On the part played by Christians--mainly Catholics--during the
period the sole work to date that gives a general overview is: J. Duquesne
, Les Catholiques français pendant l'Occupation, Paris, 1966,
slightly revised edition, 1986. On the other hand, there are a number of
volumes, extremely rich in material, reporting the proceedings of various
colloquia, to which both historians and eyewitnesses contributed. The
confrontation between the two protagonists was of singular importance.
